When you guys say reduced speed at longer distances, what kind of reduced speeds do you see? I've only got a 1.5mb dsl connection here, I wouldn't need super fast speeds for anything I'm doing out there.

As for the deer stand, I work from home, and sometimes I'm just waiting around for others to get back to me on stuff, so I would be able to hunt while waiting. A lot of my communication is via instant messenger and email. But the main reason would be for remote cameras.

Toyman,

I wouldn't worry about the speed. You probably won't notice a difference. You could do a test by running the cable on the ground out to the stand and through the window, terminate and test. There are differences in the cable also. If you buy the cheapest minimally compliant material, you may not be happy with the results.
